Hotspot - Permits Integration

To configure a lot to work with the HotSpot app, you must configure a zone for any lot where you want this service to be available. Once a zone is associated with a lot or multiple lots, any user purchasing a permit through HotSpot would be valid in all lots associated with the that zone which is configured in Lot Administration. This article will illustrate how to create the zone and apply it to a lot. 

 Setting up a HotSpot zone 

 To begin you must set up the zone under  Admin Options . Hover over the  Parking  menu item and select  Lot Zones from the drop down list. 

 

 In the  Manage Lot Zones  screen click on  Add to access the add zone form 

 

 Enter the name of the lot zone you wish to add. In our example the lot zone is  1001 

 

 Once you have the zone name entered, click on  Add Zone to save your selection. It will now show up in the drop down list of zones. 

 

 Applying a Zone to a Lot 

 To apply this zone to a lot, you first need to go into  Lot Administration  to add the zone to your selected lots. To access the lots, go to the  Parking Management  menu and hover over  Lot Administration . Select  Pricing and Admin from the resulting drop down menu. 

 

 In our example we will add this zone to the lot called  Green Staff Lot East . Click on the  lot name to access the configuration tool. 

 

 Once in  Lot Administration  for the specific lot, click on the  Zones & Location tab to access the zone configuration section. 

 

 In the  Zones & Location  tab click on  Add Zone by Days  to select the  1001 zone we created. 

 

 Select  1001 from the resulting drop down list. 

 

 For our example we can leave the defaults as is which includes: 

 The day range - leave it with all days of the week selected. (Highlighted in green) The Start and End Time. (00:00 to 23:59 - in other words all day) To save your settings click on the floppy disk (save) icon . 

 

 Click on Update this Lot to save your changes.
